Compares the specified object with this list for equality. Returns
{@code true} if and only if the specified object is also a list, both
lists have the same size, and all corresponding pairs of elements in
the two lists are <i>equal</i>. (Two elements {@code e1} and
{@code e2} are <i>equal</i> if {@code (e1==null ? e2==null :
e1.equals(e2))}.) In other words, two lists are defined to be
equal if they contain the same elements in the same order.<p>
This implementation first checks if the specified object is this
list. If so, it returns {@code true}; if not, it checks if the
specified object is a list. If not, it returns {@code false}; if so,
it iterates over both lists, comparing corresponding pairs of elements.
If any comparison returns {@code false}, this method returns
{@code false}. If either iterator runs out of elements before the
other it returns {@code false} (as the lists are of unequal length);
otherwise it returns {@code true} when the iterations complete.
